  Our PTO and PTSA communities


The ACS PTO and PTSA groups extend a warm welcome to all prospective and returning parents. For those who are new to the school, we can help in turn the challenges associated with relocation into positive new experiences for you and your family. If you are a returning family, you may be surprised at the variety of new PTO/A activities on offer, and encourage all to participate in our extended international community.

The ACS PTO and PTSA groups offer a wide diversity of parent and student support, coupled with a host of opportunities to integrate families into the wider school community. Please click on the campus-specific hyperlinks below to find out in more depth what makes our PTO and PTSAs so special:
